Electronic handwheels

The Electronic Handwheels are special incremental hand-controlled encoders developed as an auxiliary control for hand positioning on C.C.C. machine tools. They yield a noticeable sturdiness matched with a graceful aesthetic appearance.

The handwheels outputs are two square waves trains, 90 degrees apart each other, for up/down counting. Each rotation of the handwheels (360°) generates 100 pulses. The knob has a "detent" position for each division to avoid unwanted movements due to vibrations. On request the knob can be clutched: in this case each rotation can generate 1 ÷ 2500 pulses. A large graduated knob, with knurled handgrip plus a pallet for quick rotation, eases the position setting, both in step by step and multiples movements. Elcis manufactures different handwheel types for panel installation or portable box with spiral cable.
